I’ve had the pleasure to see Kevin’s work over the years, so it was a no brainer to have him do the videography for my wedding. The music, transitions, creative direction, it was all amazing. His second shooter was just as on top of things as Kevin was, too. Highly recommend Vital Light for your wedding or any event. Kevin knows what he’s doing and everyone who sees our video is shocked at the production quality. This is the new standard!

From quiet, intimate exchanges to the wild dance floor; I focus on those in-between moments that matter most to you. Based in San Diego, I film across Southern AND Northern California and specialize in creating candid films that feel real, emotional, and true to you.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we began working with Hector David and Ebullient Memories Films we knew we had made the right choice in our wedding videographer. He took the time to really get to know us, our story as a couple, and our hobbies. We even found some shared interests, like traveling to Japan and watching Formula One racing! Each email felt warm and sincere, like we were talking to a friend. Hector was also very thorough in finding out exactly what kind of shots we wanted him to film. On the day of our wedding, it could not have gone smoother. Hector and his team were very professional, but also made us feel extremely comfortable the entire time. We thought it would be awkward to be in front of the camera, but we hardly even noticed they were there. It was amazing how they were able to capture the essence of our entire wedding day on film! Four months after our wedding, we traveled to Hawaii for a second wedding reception with family members there that were not able to make it to the actual wedding in California. Hector was able to get our wedding short film finished by then and we were able to play it for our guests at the reception. It was a perfect way to share our wedding day with them! They really felt like they were there! We truly loved working with Hector and would definitely recommend him in the future! We will be cherishing these special memories from our wedding for years to come, all thanks to Hector and his amazing team!

I'm a Brazilian photographer and filmmaker based in Los Angeles, specializing in multicultural weddings since 2018.

My style is vibrant, natural, and true to life—focused on authentic emotion and joyful moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
Discovery & Initial Communication I learned about Gui’s services through word of mouth. A friend highly recommended him after hiring him for her son’s birthday party. Based on her glowing review, I decided to hire him for my very intimate civil ceremony. My main goal was to have the event beautifully documented so we could share the final video with family and close friends. From the very start, communication with Gui was seamless. He was responsive, efficient, and incredibly patient when addressing my detailed inquiries. One aspect I truly appreciated was his initiative to schedule a pre-event video call. This gave him the opportunity to get to know us, understand our personalities, and discuss our expectations for the shoot. His willingness to listen and incorporate our ideas made the entire process feel collaborative and personal. Planning & Preparation One of the reasons I chose Gui was his ability to include a highlight reel in the video package—something I really wanted. During our meeting, he welcomed my ideas and suggestions for the final video, showing a genuine interest in delivering a product that reflected our vision. Gui’s level of preparation was impressive. He took the time to scout the courthouse and a nearby park beforehand, ensuring we had the best possible locations for our shoot. His preparedness and attention to detail gave me peace of mind leading up to the event. The Day of the Ceremony On the day of our civil ceremony, everything went smoothly. Gui greeted us warmly at the courthouse, immediately setting a positive and reassuring tone. His calm and easygoing demeanor helped ease my nerves—something I truly appreciated amidst the mix of adrenaline and excitement of the day. He captured moments effortlessly, allowing us to be present and enjoy our special day without feeling overly directed or staged. Final Thoughts & Recommendation Overall, I couldn’t be happier with Gui’s work. His professionalism, creativity, and dedication to capturing our special day exceeded my expectations. If you’re looking for a videographer who is not only talented but also personable and well-prepared, I highly recommend Gui. 10/10 – Would definitely hire him again!

We’re James and Austin, and we’re absolutely obsessed with telling love stories. But not just any love stories, yours. For us, wedding filmmaking isn’t just about capturing the big moments (though we love those too!). It’s about the small, quiet in-betweens, the nervous excitement before you walk down the aisle, the way your partner looks at you when they think no one’s watching, the laughter shared with loved ones. We pour our hearts into every wedding film, blending documentary-style storytelling with a cinematic touch to create something that feels real, raw, and timeless.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you Next Chapter Films! James and Austin captured the magic of our wedding day in a way that words can’t describe. Reliving those moments brings me to tears (happy ones!)—every laugh, every smile, and every special glance between us was beautifully remembered. You were so patient and warm, making us feel like we were just spending time with friends. It all felt so natural, and it shows in everything. The wedding film felt like a real-life fairytale, and we will cherish it forever. I’m so glad we trusted you with our memories. Truly the best decision we made for our wedding!

We used Conner for our wedding on May 3, 2025. We were looking for a DJ and our photographer who had worked with him multiple times had recommended him…. Fast forward we found out he also did videography and we booked him for both- and we are so glad we did! He was so amazing, along with our photographer, they worked together so well and made sure we stayed on schedule and got all the moments captured we wanted. We almost didn’t go with videography but I’m so glad we decided to! He did such an amazing job with both the video and DJ. If we could do the day again, we would 100% have him again! He is so great to work with and so professional, I would recommend him to everyone! Thank you so much Conner for capturing the best day of our lives, the video was even better than we ever imagined. I hope we have the chance to work with you again in the future for another event. THANK YOU!!!!

Hi I’m Anthony! I’ve had a camera in my hands since I was 14 - what started as a teenage curiosity quickly grew into a lifelong passion for storytelling. Over the years, I’ve taught myself everything I know about filmmaking, and after filming my first wedding five years ago, I knew I had found my purpose. There’s something truly special about capturing the emotion, laughter, and small, unspoken moments that make a wedding day unforgettable. It’s an honor every single time I get to help couples preserve that feeling forever

Anthony captured ALL of our favorite moments during our wedding. He was very attentive and even helped guide us during certain moments when taking photos. I have recommended him to many friends and they all love him and his work!!

Stamper Films has been capturing and editing videos since 2014. Our goal is to tell the story of your wedding in a thoughtful, creative, and genuine way so that you and your guests can remember and relive this special day for years to come.

We were unsure whether or not we were going to have a videographer at our wedding when budgeting all of the other vendors. In the end, we knew we wanted to have a video of our vows and the highlights from our special day. We have zero regrets. Stamper films put together a beautiful highlight video that captured the beauty of the venue, all the fine details, and the overall love and emotion of the day. The shots are amazing - coming in from different angles, cameras, and even a drone which was amazing for highlighting the fall colors at our venue. Yan was great to work with - sending us our edit and asking for feedback. He was super responsive and open to making minor changes based on clips we knew we wanted to add.

HEYYY! *waves hands* We are Leandra & Clinton Cunanan, owners and lead videographers of Food & Cake Wedding Films. We are huge advocates for doing exactly what you want on your wedding day. We had the most epic wedding of all time (ask us about it!), but we didn't hire a videographer. And now this why we do what we do. It's the best feeling knowing each one of our couples will be able to relive their wedding day for the rest of their lives. We didn't have that, and now we get to give that to you!

I am so blown away by not only the quality of Clint and Leandra's work as videographers, but also what wonderful people they are! Not even halfway through our first zoom with them to talk about what packages they offer and our vision for the day I knew they were the perfect fit for us! Being with them on the wedding day felt like hanging out with old friends, they were amazing at blending in to the crowd to capture candid moments while also giving us prompts that created some of our favorite memories of the day. They worked so well with our other vendors and I don't think our day would have been complete without them. They are masters at what they do, and also the perfect people to have during a busy and, at times, stressful day (Leandra was able to bussle my dress when no one else could get the loop on the buttons AND snagged me some appetizers when I was resting my feet after the receiving line, she was a lifesaver!) My husband and I both teared up watching our trailer and highlight reel, and then happy cried getting to see our whole ceremony, private vows, speeches, and first dances. I know this is footage we’ll be so happy to look back on in the years to come, not just of my husband and I but of our whole families as well! I'm so happy we found Food Cake, you will not regret hiring this fantastic couple!
